TattooI've wondered a lotThat is to say I've ponderedAnd thoughtOr conjecturedAbout that markingI wonder if everYou will look upon itIn sorrow for theReminder of the promiseYou made to loveBeDoCarved beneath the surfaceOf your skinSo gentle the skinSo sharp the needleSo enduring the word
AddictionA poison-A trap.Taking you-Binding you-Tainting you-Becoming you…It's in your fleshIt's in your mind.Inside,And out,Its presence apparent.All consuming,All controlling,Till resistance is no longer yours.Now a creature of habit,An empty shell.A cycle,No way outNo end.Wisps of smoke around your face,The taste forever on your breath.Lost in the pleasure,Lost in the pain.The final price,A final dose.
